There are a few million people in jail and supervision in the USA, offloading the crudity and performing the work of incentivizing conformity, at slave wages as we speak.

"Things can't be good now cause they were good before"
That doesn't work.
I didn’t make the comparison in the first place.
Sure, or “things can’t be better because they were worse”
You don’t have a choice about that, and it isn’t a history race.
I’m just suggesting a world where jails and prisons are literally replaced with batteries and datacenters. It’s a medieval institution at best.
